On the fence - 2012 Mazda Mazda5
By maeby101 - July 21 - 6:50 amIve had this car for almost a year and 10.5k miles. There are many things I like about it, but I would trade it in if I could. I was coming from an 05 Outback, which had its share of problems over 100k miles, but I loved that car from the start. I cant say the same about the 5. I chose this car because of the ability to put an adult in the backseat with our two little kids. But we only need to do this on long trips, which is maybe twice a year. I miss having AWD (though the 5 was fine with winter tires in last years very mild winter). Something about it just feels cheap. After 10k miles, one of the sliding doors has begun to rattle at slow speeds. Thats just wrong.
